Goin too fast? What colour is your car. Hope you didn`t move the chassis rail. Show us a pic.

[joshyd-mk2gti]

yeh going too fast in the wet.... heres some pics






this thing here is bent (the inner guard?). is that bad? fixable???? i drove it home, drove fine. steering wasnt affected at all. radiator has been pushed in a little bit thou. hmmm

[Golf Loon]

New Guard, Bumper, Radiator Surround Panel and a big hammer for the inner guard. Maybe a bonnet too.

The beast will roar again. Never Fear.

[joshyd-mk2gti]

the bonnet is all good, hasnt been touched at all. might get a quote for it tomoz. shouldnt be over 2k should it?????

dont let them source your parts though it will be damm expensive, do the work yourself and get them, to paint, should work out the white car i fixed or am fixing was a little worse, they build em strong

[Golf Loon]

Yeah dubstar is right, chase up a guard and front panel yourself and just take it to em for painting. Under 1000 then I`d say.

[alex g]

i can get you a front light panel radiator support thing and maybe even a guard if you get stuk let me know i am in sydney though and brian patterson has front big bumpers

[joshyd-mk2gti]

ah cheers for the help fellas. yeh i wouldnt mind fixing it my self, but it would take me ages i reckon. and i need it to get around, today i had to catch a taxi. i took it to one place before, and they just looked at it and guessed it would be about 2-3k. its at another place now and the guys gona take a proper look at it tomoz (i expect this guy to be cheaper). ill see wat he says it needs done, and then ill consider doing it myself.

Thats a damn shame. Glad you weren't hurt. That car used to belong to my best mate. Hope you can get it repaired .

[joshyd-mk2gti]

ah i dont remember starting this thread! the mods must have cut it from another one, cheers.

anyway ive got the car back. just waiting for the headlights and indicators to come from america (its been two weeks, shouldnt be far away ((i hope))). ended up costing a smidge over 2k. i got the front bar from GTI Imports in sydney, and the panel beater got the guard.

when did your mate own it ausgolfer?? how long did he have it for??

. just waiting for the headlights and indicators to come from america

Won't the headlights be LHD??????

[peter_j_g]

syncro, you were thinking what I was thinking too! Lights from the USA are for LHD countries, and not suitable & illegal for use here...check that they have the correct beam pattern, and dip to the left, not the right!

[joshyd-mk2gti]

hmm not real sure. cuz they use H4 bulbs, US model cars use 9004 bulbs or something. so they could be LHD after all. but some of them have a LHD or RHD setting. suppose ill find out when they arrive
